TF-NOC: TERENA Task Force on Network Operation Centres
A task force is established under the auspices of the TERENA Technical Programme with the primary aim to offer a forum for leading staff members of Network Operation Centres (NOCs). It is facilitating knowledge exchange and collaboration in order to foster the development and improvement of NOCs, primarily within the research and education community.
The Task Force will be open to any individual who can offer appropriate expertise, manpower, equipment or services. Participation is on a voluntary basis.
The Task Force mailing list is: tf-noc@terena.org

The aims of this Task Force are:
- to provide a forum for exchanging and promoting ideas, experience and knowledge related to Network Operation Centres;
- to explore and get an understanding of the taxonomy of Network Operation Centres (i.e., NOC types, models and structures);
- to exchange ideas, experience and knowledge on NOC tools, functions, workflows, procedures and best practices;
- to facilitate inter-NOC communication and collaboration;
- to foster collaboration on various NOC service improvements and (open source) tool developments;
- to work together with related TERENA task forces such as TF-MSP and also liaise with other communities such as GN3-APM, GN3-JRA2, and EGI.
